Oh my god, you will not believe how much my mind was in overdrive!lol

Great find btw and yeah, I'd love to see Paul imparting his knowledge of the skins on there

[mrshardy]

it aint just tabs, thats the beuty of it - its like the musician shows you how to play, i hate tabs too im shit at reading em. actually, i cant lol

[Mrs Clarkeycakes]

Try drum tabs for size... they don't represent notes, but the pieces of kit you hit. Though I'm not sure if that's easier or more difficult lol I tried to learn bass but alaz I suffer from chipolatafingerosis so couldn't manage to walk my fingers over the fret. I tried drumming about 14 months ago and haven't looked back... I love it

How long have you been playing bass now?

[Mrs Clarkeycakes]

it's one of my many afflictions - including numptyisms and spazzy typing lol

I don't have Alex sadly, otherwise I'd gladly send him over. I know you want to play him like your geetar

[Mrs Clarkeycakes]

*sniggers* oh yes, put those long pale digits to very good use...
pfft if you're trying to pin it on me love, you have another think coming and you're about as innocent as OJ m'dear ;D

[Mrs Clarkeycakes]

I have strummedperved over the Black Tele hmmm and it's lush. Last Saturday we were messing with the Squire, Lauz put the tremolo arm on it and let's just say we had a right laugh ;D

Cheers - I do love my kit, would love a sparkley one like Paul's but don't think that'll happen any time soon sadly. but I do have my eyes on something else...

[Mrs Clarkeycakes]
